Also, TD's research show, the peak season effort does not appear, battery output generally worse than expected, most manufacturers orders does not change much from the previous month.It means the total orders for the battery industry does not increase, it may cause the intense competition between the battery enterprise.
3) Lithium carbonate prices would go stable in short terms
In August, Lithium carbonate prices continued to fall, spot prices stopped falling but did not stabilize, and the total amount of transactions decreased. The futures prices once fell by the daily limit. The market was generally bearish. Battery grade lithium carbonate offer price at the end of August was in the range of 198,000 to 213,000 yuan/ton, the lowest price has fallen below 200,000 yuan/ton.
TD expects lithium carbonate prices in September would stabilize in the short term, the main reasons are:
Ø The demand is still weak. In the case of weak demand, the price of lithium carbonate lacks strong support.
Ø In terms of supply side, the Jiangxi region's production has been cutted a little part, and the salt lake production has been adjusted back. As prices continue to fall,lithium Mining company would adjust their production and supply.
